Ling Xi wanted to suggest staying to help, but after considering her own skills, she thought, "Never mind, I'll leave it to the professionals."

Then, Ling Xi turned and walked out of the laboratory. This time, he didn't use the spatial wormhole again. After all, maintaining the spatial wormhole for five minutes had consumed a lot of energy. Of course, more importantly, he had already used up too much Honkai Energy here, and if he continued to use it...

There is a high possibility of a Honkai outbreak here. Although the Honkai poses almost no threat to the Doctor and the others, it would be a real problem if the laboratory were Honkai by the Honkai.

So, let's conserve some Honkai Energy to walk around a bit more.

"Whoosh..."

With Ling Xi's departure, Mobius seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. From the information sent by her future self, she had learned what she needed to know and how to deal with the future.

As for why we need to go to the Quantum Sea...

Unfortunately, in this world, the Honkai God is like the omnipresent sophon in The Three-Body Problem. Any information will be detected by the Honkai, but generally the Honkai God will not pay attention to this information, only to information with keywords!

It was obvious that the information Big Duckling brought was full of keywords, which was why I went to the Quantum Sea to check it out, because...

For the Honkai God, the Quantum Sea is like a dark domain, so almost everything done in the Quantum Sea can be done behind their Honkai.

Of course, Mobius couldn't reveal a single word, otherwise the Honkai would detect it, so...

Mobius the Wallfacer, am I your Wallbreaker?

Chapter 729 A Thousand People and Herrscher of Restraint!

A week later, the Herrscher of Domination was born, but unlike the original work, this Herrscher of Domination was still in the form of Thousand-Man Herrscher.

If that were all, then with humanity's current strength, plus Aponia and Xiaoshi's abilities, they could wipe it out in no time. But...

This time, the Herrscher of Domination not only possesses the powers of Herrscher of Domination, but also includes...

The power of the Herrscher of Restraint!

In other words, each of the Thousand-Man Herrscher possesses the power to Herrscher of Restraint, although the area and intensity of their binding are far less than those of the Herrscher of Restraint do so...

Wherever these thousands go, nothing grows. They don't need to do anything; simply appearing in the designated locations is enough to destroy human civilization...

In just two days, the death toll around the world reached hundreds of millions!

While the Valkyrie wanted to fight the Thousand-Man Herrscher, their attacks were completely Honkai Energy. Only Elysia and the others were able to kill the Thousand-Man Herrscher of Restraint before it could completely restrain its Honkai Energy, but...

After doing this, they were essentially rendered incapable of fighting and would need at least a week to recover!

But at the current speed of the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the entire ground will be completely turned into a wasteland in less than a month!

Although the Schicksal Headquarters has not been affected for the time being because it is located in the air, however...

If human civilization were to perish, it would naturally follow the same pattern as Previous Era: winning the Honkai but losing the civilization itself!

Therefore, protecting human civilization on Earth is something that must be done.

"Damn it, this is so unfair..."

At Schicksal Headquarters, Ling Xi appeared somewhat exasperated, as this was completely beyond his expectations. Normally, dealing with the Thousand-Man Herrscher would be relatively easy, and while the Herrscher of Restraint were more difficult, they weren't impossible to eliminate. However...

The combination of the two is equivalent to a thousand Herrscher of Restraint with various special abilities, which is extremely troublesome!

Ling Xi never expected that the Honkai would Honkai in such a way, knowing that a single Herrscher could not defeat humans, so it merged two Herrscher together.

"Indeed..."

At this moment, Ein and the others were also here. There was no other way. In the whole world, apart from the deep-sea base and the space station, only the Schicksal Headquarters was the safest place. Therefore, Schicksal's elites, high-ranking officials, and main combat personnel had all gathered at the Schicksal Headquarters!

"If this continues, we will lose the foundation of our civilization, just like the Previous Era."

Tesla was also somewhat helpless. Knowing the history of the Previous Era, she was truly anxious. After all, although the Previous Era had essentially lost after the Herrscher of Rock, but...

What truly deprived the Previous Era of its ability to develop was the Herrscher of Restraint, which cleared almost the entire surface, leaving the Previous Era with less than 100,000 people.

At this moment, although the abilities of the thousand Herrscher of Restraint have been reduced considerably, the destructive power they bring is by no means small. Each of them has a binding field of 100 meters. Once any object with energy enters this range, its energy will be bound or absorbed.

Some of the Thousand-Man Herrscher have a restraining range that can even reach thousands of meters.

"The ultimate move of the Tai Xu Sword Qi Tai Xu Sword God, can indeed injure the opponent by ignoring the restraining domain, but..."

Fu Hua shook her head slightly and sighed, "Even I can't release this move continuously. Three times a day is probably the limit. As for Sushang and Lixue, they can probably only release it once. Sushang might have a chance to release it twice."

Cheng Lixue: "..." Fine, so I guess I'm the worst...

"I could probably do it three times too, but..."

Ling Xi rubbed his forehead and said, "Releasing the Tai Xu Sword Qi requires a lot of mental energy, and mental energy is not as easy to recover as Honkai Energy. If it's like this for several days in a row, I can't take it."

"Even so, we can only kill twenty or thirty Herrscher of Restraint a day, and no more than three hundred in ten days."

Vill-V stroked her chin and said, "At the current rate of the Herrscher of Restraint, it is estimated that in about ten days, there will be less than one-tenth of the survivors on the ground. Once we have eliminated the Thousand-Man Herrscher, the living people in the world will probably all be at headquarters."

"By the way, where are Dr. Mobius and the others?"

At this moment, Sakura also raised a question. From the day before yesterday until now, Mobius has only shown himself once, announcing the arrival of the Thousand-Man Herrscher and the Herrscher of Restraint, and then handed over command to Ling Xi. He has not appeared since.

"The Doctor said she is thinking about strategies to fight the Herrscher."

Ling Xi rubbed her forehead and smiled helplessly, "Senior Sister, Xiao Ke, and even Cangxuan Danzhu are all with the Doctor. I just don't know when they'll be able to come up with a solution."

Everyone was speechless.

Okay, let's think of a solution...

Although everyone felt that Thousand-Man Herrscher plus Herrscher of Restraint was unlikely to be a problem that could be solved through strategy, after all...

The powers of the Herrscher of Restraint are truly unsolvable!

If it were an individual Herrscher of Restraint like those in Previous Era, although very powerful, humanity could at least use the opponent's peak power at the time to forcibly kill them, at most paying a heavy price. However...

There are now a thousand Herrscher of Restraint, so unless we can find a way to gather Herrscher of Restraint out in one fell swoop, otherwise...

The only option is for Elysia and others, or Fu Hua and others, to forcefully kill the enemy one by one!

Three more days passed, and the global death toll had reached 2 billion. But there was very little that could be done. Only the Immortal and Li Sushang could release the Tai Xu Sword Qi once or twice a day to kill a few Thousand-Man Herrscher and relieve some pressure.

But for a total of a thousand Thousand-Man Herrscher, this is truly a drop in the ocean.

Thankfully, the Doctor finally reappeared...

"Everyone, assemble!"

After reappearing, Mobius quickly issued a gathering order, bringing together all the Valkyrie with combat power reaching S-rank, and then began to announce the countermeasures!

"According to our investigation, the Thousand-Man Herrscher is indeed the Thousand-Man Herrscher, but the Herrscher of Restraint is not the Thousand-Man Herrscher, therefore..."

Mobius immediately unfolded a world map and said, "Among all the Thousand-Man Herrscher, there lies a true Herrscher of Restraint. The Authority of Binding of all the Thousand-Man Herrscher originates from this one, therefore..."

Mobius quickly marked twenty-five points on the map and said, "These points are the most likely locations for the Herrscher of Restraint's true form, based on our analysis. Now, let's issue the orders. Ling Xi, your mission is number one, number two, and number three. Hua, your mission is..."

Soon, Mobius assigned all twenty-five positions. This time, in addition to Crimson Seele and Bianca, Wendy and Mei were also dispatched. There was no other way; there weren't enough people!

However, Wendy and Mei naturally wouldn't enter the restricted area. Their task was to eliminate the Honkai Beast around the target and ensure that the people carrying out the mission wouldn't be disturbed!

Chapter 730 Annihilation of a Thousand People and Restraint!

Following Mobius's instructions, everyone headed to their respective targets. Elysia, Sakura, and Brother Jie were among those who could only use a one-for-one exchange strategy. After eliminating a target, their Honkai Energy was almost completely depleted!

Fu Hua, Li Sushang, Ling Xi, and the others could eliminate more targets using the Tai Xu Sword Qi, but...

The twenty-five goals marked by Mobius represent the current limits of human capability!

Soon, those with only one objective completed their missions without casualties. Fu Hua Li Sushang, and the others also eliminated their respective targets. Finally...

"Whoosh!"

Just as Ling Xi was about to eliminate target number two, the binding field around the target instantly expanded hundreds of times, while the Herrscher of Restraint among the other Thousand-Man Herrscher completely disappeared. At that moment, Ling Xi realized that he had found the right target...

However, the Doctor never said that the powers of the Herrscher of Restraint would be taken back!

Suddenly, Ling Xi felt like she had been tricked. This was the power to Herrscher of Restraint... she couldn't control it at all!

In an instant, Ling Xi felt everything within her body draining away— Honkai Energy, life energy, in short... all energy was being devoured by the Herrscher of Restraint!

"Hey, Mobius, think of something quick!"

At headquarters, everyone noticed Ling Xi's situation, and even the usually calm Elysia became nervous because...

This time, I'm really going to die!

And...

Ling Xi's resurrection relied on Shesha's genes and her limitless abilities, but...

No one knows whether this ability will also be eliminated by the restrictive domain. If so...

Then Ling Xi would really be dead!

"Seele!"

However, instead of returning to Elysia, Mobius turned to look at Seele.

"Huh?"

Seele was somewhat puzzled. She was definitely worried about Ling Xi, but... what could she do? She wasn't Herrscher, she... couldn't do anything!

"Lend your power to Ling Xi."

Mobius didn't say much, and directly told Seele what to do.

"Huh? But I..."

Seele was completely bewildered. What was this about borrowing power? Was this some kind of novel setting?

"Just do as I say, and silently repeat it in your mind."

Mobius did not explain the reason, but simply told Seele what to do.

"Hmm... okay, alright!"

Seeing this, Seele no longer hesitated, silently closed her eyes, and then silently recited what Mobius had said...

Power, give me power!

"Waaah..."

Suddenly, a divine light emanated from Seele, which then soared into the sky and landed on Ling Xi...

"This is..."

Elysia seemed to understand something. Before the Previous Era went into hibernation, Mobius had told her that Ling Xi's divine authority... had been handed over to Seele, so...

"Huh? This is... divine power?"

Ling Xi, who was still struggling within the restraint domain, suddenly felt an unprecedentedly powerful force, and...

This power feels familiar; it's the half of divine authority I seized back then!

In an instant, Ling Xi felt the suppression from the binding field completely disappear; she... was no longer affected by any Herrscher of Restraint. So...

"Let's end this!"

Ling Xi lunged forward in an instant and pulled out the core of the Herrscher of Restraint!

At this point, the Herrscher of Restraint has been killed!

Humanity has triumphed once again!

As for the remaining Thousand-Man Herrscher, ha...

The greatest trump card of the Thousand-Man Herrscher is to sabotage from the shadows, but...

Because of the Authority of Binding, all the Thousand-Man Herrscher have been marked, and so...

In less than half an hour, the remaining Thousand-Man Herrscher were all killed by Schicksal's Valkyrie forces. Some of the Thousand-Man Herrscher didn't even wait for the Valkyrie forces before being beaten to death by the crowd.

In conclusion, humanity, facing the attacks of the two Herrscher Authority domination and restraint, ultimately triumphed over the Honkai at the cost of two billion lives and immeasurable economic losses. Although the losses were immense,...

This time, humanity has maintained a population of at least five billion, and the foundation of civilization has not suffered too serious damage!

Of course, there's nothing we can do about it. The previous Herrscher either turned against humanity outright or were easily eliminated. There are almost no Herrscher who have truly caused huge losses to humanity!

There's no way around it; Honkai God left too many plot holes in the Previous Era, and there's also a group of second-playthrough players like the Doctor...
